BuddyPress.org

I have never used kendo, so i can’t help you about how it works, or not, with BuddyPress or with your theme.

But you can deregister a script or add more scripts into the theme…

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Go to your main groups page, and an individual group page.

On both do a “view source”

Is there anything in your source that has anything to do with “robots”
(like robots meta noindex)

That would be an issue – but I bet it’s just the way buddypress handles the
“meta name description”
and html page “title” for groups, and individual member’s profile pages

G’s Wb Tools always says it’s an issue for my bp sites..
(missing completely, or duplicate your other pages, or too short)

This issue was brought up and worked on a bit a few months ago here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bussdypress-title-and-seo-yoast-problem/#post-236324

(since then there was some interesting discussion in a trac where I was impressed some of the devs thought about a lot of issues with this – can’t remember the trac # atm)

I also made a suggestion about this issue here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/page-titles-meta-desc-option-like-wp-permalinks/

Although there was some great work on this issue recently, I think it’s still far from what the big G wants to see.

Given the issues with each group’s lack of good (or any) meta name description, and lame page titles, it may actually be more beneficial to block their indexing with a robots.txt file – as having a bunch of issues there affects the ranking for the rest of your site from what I gather.

Hi @jakobbader.. can you do the followings ?

1. Most importantly, disable all plugins except BuddyPress.
2. Also try Switching theme and Check.
3. Make Sure you haven’t changed core files.

“Your BuddyPress” is a place to show off your wonderful BuddyPress creations. Even though your Facebook group isn’t a BuddyPress creation, it is third-party and seems to be dedicated to BuddyPress so I thought this forum was a fitting place for your post.

Hope that explains why your topic was moved.

>I downloaded buddypress and the template pack too

Why did you download the template pack, can you tell us what led you to the template pack, that package is quite old and not relevant you shouldn’t need it if you simply allow the BP theme compatibility process to run and copy any files if you need to customize them to your theme as explained in the article linked to above.

We’d be interested to know what led you to the Template Pack so we can see if we have misleading guides and/or links to it that we can qualify to make things clearer.

[Moved to the “Your BuddyPress” forum]

Take a look at the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy article. That should answer any questions you have.

Please use the code button.

Store your meta in the bp_activity_meta table when an activity entry is created.
Then you can use an Activity Meta Query to filter activities.

Add custom filters to loops and enjoy them within your plugin

The anser you expect was in your first topic.

I’ve searched the forum and there are no other topics about this.

Topic is now closed.

Next time you want help, give correct details and don’t ask us to see your site without giving his URL.

This is a knowed bug, a bit forgotten over the time (2 years back !).
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4821

@imath will look at this this week-end.

Follow the ticket to see progress, and eventually give feedback if asked for. Login on Trac uses same credentials as here.

That said, in your specific example, if a visitor knows the phone number of a registered user and try to search him on your site using that number, guess the relation between both is nearly familiar, so privacy is not a big problem, at least for them. 🙂

Seems you posted twice !
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/where-i/

or do you mean the Dashboard ?

Would it work if I would not connect the “members” page with BuddyPress in the settings, set the page to private and pull the dynamic content for the members list by a stortcode?

No, no, no. That page is core, must exist and should be blank. Just a (custom) title.

Do I need to learn to code to use BuddyPress?
No, but it’s better if you know some basics.

To make the member directory for loggedin users only, you have to:
– create a child-theme (is explained on WP and BP codex)
– copy/paste index.php from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php
to
/wp-content/themes/your_child/buddypress/members/index.php

In this copy, right after <div id="buddypress">, in the existing php opening tag just after, you add if(is_user_logged_in() ):

At the end of the file, you’ll find the closing div tag of #buddypress.
Just before this closing tag, again an opening php tag, you add endif; before the do_action you’ll see there.

If you did it correctly, the directory is now only be visible for loggedin users.

Some basics:

open php tag <?php
closing php tag ?>

open html tag <div>
closing html tag </div>

Hi @nmschaller,

bbPress is a separate plugin and BuddyPress doesn’t manage bbPress. For questions about forum settings, you can use the bbPress support.

When you use BP groups component, you can add a forum to each of them. In this case only, you have to install bbPress. Of course you can also use bbPress as standalone on a BP install, or use bbPress with WordPress, without BP.

BP doesn’t use “pages” but templates, and the only pages created during installation are in for internal purpose. The “member” page is used to show the member directory, but also profiles or members activities. This dynamic content is displayed on different templates, depending the context, and using WP’s page system to fire all that via a same page slug (aka internal path).

your-site/members/some/thing/ where /some/thing/ is using his own template part displayed on “members page”.

So far i understand you use bbPress and now you want a members directory, and eventually some additionnal fields on user’s profiles. And most of this should be private or “members only”, right ?

The main problem is that you want some custom behave that need some knowledge (you seem to have), but you cannot edit functions.php Unfortunately, this is the place where to add customisation. And what to tell about bp-custom, which is another crucial cusmisation file.

You want to drive and have no steering wheel ! Annoying… 😉

The question is Do you need BuddyPress or can you use another solution ? 🙂

Depends your project, really. Members directory or extended profiles can be done with separate plugins.

Or digg into the Codex if you decide to use BuddyPress.

Salut,

the problem is that js is only loaded on the original modification page. To get the new UI, you have to use another filter.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php#L1833

Soufflé par @imath despite the heat (we :sweat: in Paris today)

function change_profile_picture(){         
        add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'change_profile_picture_screen_content' );
		xprofile_screen_change_avatar();   
}
add_filter('bp_avatar_is_front_edit', 'filter_changeavatar_template');

You would probably also remove the original Change Avatar tab from Profile subnav ? Use this:

function bpfr_remove_change_avatar_tab() {
global $bp;
	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'profile', 'change-avatar' );
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'bpfr_remove_change_avatar_tab', 15 );

Have fun !

I doubt <i class=”fa fa-user”></i> is inserted by BuddyPress. Is it generated by a plugin?
